NASA announced Friday that Ingenuity successfully completed its fourth flight, which saw the small helicopter fly farther and faster than ever before.
The $85 million drone traveled 872 feet (266 meters) at a height of 16 feet (5 meters) for two minutes.
The American space agency received the data downlink at 1:39pm ET that showed the copter took off from Wright Brothers Field under the watchful gaze of the Perseverance rover at 10:12am ET.
Perseverance, which sat some 210 feet away, snapped a picture of its travel companion s fourth flight through the thin atmosphere on Mars. Success. #MarsHelicopter completed 4th flight, going farther & faster than ever before. It also took more photos as it flew over the Martian surface. We expect those images will come down in a later data downlink, but @NASAPerseverance s Hazcam caught part of the flight, NASA s JPL shared on Twitter.
Ingenuity will fly up 16ft in the air then travel 276ft over Martian landscapes
It will cross rocks, sand ripples and impact craters, taking photos as it moves
This is pushing the envelope of what is possible for the small test vehicle
It was designed as a technical demonstration to see if a flying component would be viable and possible for future planetary science and exploration missions
